King Abdullah Visits France For Meeting With Macron

The King of Jordan was in Paris on Monday for bilateral talks with the new French President, Emmanuel Macron, at Élysées Palace.

The two leaders discussed the “importance of continuing coordination and consultation between Jordan and France on issues of mutual interest”. One of the major topic of discussion was sharing of intelligence and cooperation between the two countries to combat terrorism and extremism.

King Abdullah and President Macron both reiterated the strength of the economic relationship the two countries share – France being the largest investor into Jordan – as something they both wished to continue well into the future.

Joining the King on his visit was his younger daughter, Princess Salma.
